Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment but ensure pets are taken for leashed potty breaks as needed (2-4 hours) Longer walks are taken in the morning, early afternoon and evening in different settings (neighborhood, parks, and trails). With summer temps arriving, I ensure walks are taken in shaded areas, avoid times of extreme heat to prevent paw burn, and carry extra water. I follow the pups lead and never push walks if they are showing any sign of heat intolerance, discomfort, anxiety, or other concerns. Leash safety is another big priority, and I assume any dog we see may be reactive. This means we will wait for other dogs to pass us or cross the street to avoid close encounters. When it comes to boarding, I only book one family at a time. I want to guarantee safety and appropriate care.

Information Puanani H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has special needs, custom diet or feeding schedule, injuries, or behaviors that may require additional attention and care

A typical day

I love dog led walks around different parks and trails, allowing the pup to walk at their own pace, and smell all the things in nature. I also provide various enrichment activities such as puzzles, snuffle mats, mini training sessions to keep their skills sharp, and doing pup friendly crafts!

Puanani was a wonderful caretaker and friend to my furry family! Nice long walks, great details, photos and attention was given to my dog and it made me feel SO much more comfortable being away from home. I will definitely book her services again!

Can’t recommend my Nani highly enough! She took care of our dog for two weeks while we were on vacation and went above and beyond. We received daily updates and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative and attentive, making sure our pup got plenty of exercise and even incorporated training sessions into their routine. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It was clear she treated our dog like her own, and we are so grateful for her dedication and professionalism.
